4-flute solid carbide end mill for machining 60-degree materials
In the machining of high-hardness metal materials, the tool's wear resistance, stability, and cutting efficiency directly affect product quality and production cycle time. In particular, when machining ≤ HRC60 alloy steel, hardened steel, and cast iron 600 At that time, if the cutting tool lacks stability, machining problems such as chipping, tool marks, and inconsistent dimensions are likely to occur.
Launched by Lizhou 60 Tungsten steel grade 4 Flat-end milling cutter This is a high-performance cutting tool specifically designed for machining high-hardness materials. It is made from high-end bar stock developed and produced in-house by Lizhou, featuring stable material properties and enhanced toughness, which enable outstanding performance in actual machining operations. It is ideally suited for use in mold factories, mechanical parts processing plants, and mass-production lines for workpieces.
I. Specifically for ≤ HRC60 Made from high-hardness materials
The higher the hardness of a material, the more stringent the requirements for the tool substrate and geometric structure. 60 The end mill utilizes high-wear-resistant, high-toughness tungsten steel bars, enabling it to maintain sufficient resistance to chipping when machining hardened steels and die steels.
Applicable materials include: HRC60 The following alloy steels, hardened steels, die steels, tool steels, and cast irons 600 Ductile iron, high-hardness structural parts, and mold cavities
Whether it's rough machining or semi-finishing, stable cutting can be maintained, and the tool is less likely to experience tool fatigue or sudden tool breakage.

2. Four-blade structure, high rigidity, excellent stability, and superior surface quality.
4 The flat-end face milling cutter has inherent structural advantages:
Lower unit cutting load
The tool has higher overall rigidity.
Less vibration
Better surface finish after machining
In the machining of high-hardness materials, the greater the tool rigidity, the more stable the machining process will be, and the less likely it is to encounter issues such as tool marks, step marks, or dimensional deviations caused by vibration.
This is also a keyword that customers frequently search for: “four-flute end mills, high-rigidity milling cutters, and tools for machining hardened steel.”
III. Unequal Blade Sections + U Groove + Double-edged blade structure, comprehensively enhancing chip removal and stability.
This is this model. 60 The core design highlights of a face milling cutter also determine whether it is “durable and easy to use.”
✔ Unequal blade structure
Reduce resonance to ensure stable cutting during high-speed machining, effectively improving surface finish.
Customer frequently searched terms:
Unequal-tooth end mill
Seismic milling cutter
Milling cutter with good stability
✔ You Slot profile
Large chip evacuation space, ideal for handling high-temperature chips generated when machining hard steel.
✔ Double-edged belt structure
Improve tool guidance for more accurate dimension machining and smoother side walls.
The combination of these three factors gives the cutting tool high rigidity and excellent chip evacuation capability, while reducing heat generation and extending tool life—perfectly meeting customers’ demands for “wear-resistant milling cutters” and “tools for machining hard steel.”
